	Papabile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Papabile (plural: Papabili) is an unofficial Italian term first coined by Vaticanologists and now used internationally in many languages to describe cardinals of whom it is thought likely or possible that they will be elected pope.
		For instance Carlo Maria Cardinal Martini was thought to be papabile a few years ago, but now he has given up his see (Milan) upon reaching 75 years of age.
		As Pope Benedict XVI was one of the oldest men on the list, most men on the list remain among his potential successors, but the "papability" of those on it will tend to wane as time goes on.

	Leading Italian Vatican-watcher assesses the papabile
		At the close of the European synod Oct. 23, Politi offered his assessment of who the candidates and king-makers among the Europeans now seem to be in the wake of this event.

		Papabile remarks on a Whapping post on cassocks at ND, and offers some historical info, of which I was not at all aware...about what the Second and Thirdt Plenary Councils of Baltimore decreed in re/the garb.
		Posted by: RP Burke at Aug 31, 2005 11:58:04 AM Papabile's interpretation of the Council of Baltimore is quite tendentious.
		What it said was that in society priests should wear a fl coat that extended to the knees (the equivalent of an old fashioned frock coat I imagine) for the express purpose of distinguishing themselves from the laity.

		The Vatican could quickly announce his name and have him participate in the conclave IF he can be safely gotten out of China and if he is under 80.
		Different names are already circulating as papabile -- "possible popes" -- as we head towards a likely conclave in the month of April.
		I've written on this before (and got 300 hits on this earlier post just yesterday, since I am #3 on Google's search on the subject), but I think it is time to look at the topic again, as a conclave seems much closer than it did in February.

		Part of the reason there's no Asian papabile is that none of the Asian cardinals have been at one time or another connected with the Roman curia or the Vatican government.
		Italian cardinals are perceived to be papabile because the Vatican media based here have reported their activities and statements.
		Non-Italian papabile are either non-European curia officials or European cardinals who had worked at the Vatican, such as Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Austria, who was at one time assistant to Ratzinger.

		Long usage has limited the choice to one of the cardinals themselves and the Italian word "papabile" -- literally "popeable" -- is applied to prelates who seem to have the qualities necessary to be elected.
		Ruini himself is not considered papabile, but 70-year-old Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, the archbishop of Milan, and Cardinal Angelo Scola, the patriarch of Venice certainly are definite papabili.
		An intellectual and a disciple of the Swiss Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, he is close to the Italian organization Communion and Liberation and taught theology until appointed to the ancient Venice see.

		Among watchers of papal politics, Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, the archbishop of Milan, is the most conservative of those considered to be papabile, which is what a cardinal with enough stature to be elected pope is called.
		A run down the list of other cardinals considered to be papabile shows that the rest are even more to the left of the archbishop of Milan.
		For example, last week, Cardinal Renato Martino, who is president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, slammed the United States for treating a captured Saddam Hussein "like a cow," for whom he felt "compassion" and "pity." These statements were seen by some papal handicappers as improving his standing with the European vote.

	Seeking signs of how cardinals are leaning in picking new pope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Italian media have quoted two Latin American cardinals who are considered papabile -- possible popes -- giving high play to the need to address the same biological issues.
		On the other hand, if that priority is at the top of the list for three highly influential cardinals, it points in the direction of the man who now tops the lists of papabile: Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, 71, of Milan, who has worked extensively in bioethics.
		Those given to reading ecclesiastical tea leaves might suspect that the two contenders from Latin America have signaled their support for Tettamanzi, or at least for an Italian.

		Thus, after this incantation, the reign of Pope John Paul II formally came to a close and the search is on for a new pope in an equally new pontificate.
		After this unfortunate exercise, the people of Viterbo were happy to find a papabile by the name of Gregory X. After this “historic” even, the gathering to elect a papabile has been held in a “Secret Conclave.” The name “secret” is obvious; it’s intended to have no outside influences by monarchs, king or queens.
		Pope John Paul II has also willed that the election of the new pope should be made known to the world not only by a “white smoke” but also by the ringing of bells of the Basilica of St. Peter.

		While published lists of papabile -- Italian for electable cardinals -- should not be taken too seriously, the role of the Holy Spirit should, said Francesco D. Cesareo, dean of the liberal arts school at Duquesne University and a church historian who studies the papacy.
		Another long-standing papabile is Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels of Mechelen-Brussels, 71, a standard-bearer for liberal-to-centrist reformers.

	National Catholic Reporter: Cardinal Kasper balances values with reality - Cardinal Walter Kasper, papabile
		He entered the College of Cardinals in a Feb. 21 consistory, and a few days later the pope named him to head the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, in effect making him the church's top ecumenical officer.
		He also figures on most lists as a papabile, or a candidate to be the next pope.
		Kasper's ascent suggests to vatican observers that currents swirling in anticipation of the next papal conclave, whenever that might occur, lead to a surprisingly wide range of possibilities.
